But does that lead you to wonder about how consciousness is configured in order to give you your ordinary consciousness under most circumstances? It's a mystery, isn't it? Have you traded your mystery for an interpretation of its meaning? Do you totally identify exclusively with your ordinary, waking consciousness? On what basis do you decide what is you and what is other, and can there be anything that is other which is also in you?
